ActiveFAX for Surgery is a comprehensive “paperless” solution for efficiently managing all of the disparate data and documentation requirements associated with the pre-surgical process. ActiveFAX for Surgery uses many of the powerful data capture, deficiency analysis, communication and workflow solutions from HealthWare Systems’ ActiveWARE Product line.

Utilizing ActiveFAX for Surgery healthcare facilities can:
- Reduce delayed, rescheduled, cancelled procedures
- Reduce duplicate documentation, unnecessary and “stat” tests
- Improve communication with referring physicians and 3rd party testing organizations
- Improve physician and patient satisfaction
- Improve patient safety
- Have a dramatic positive financial impact on surgical operations
Historically, information that was faxed had to be logged, immediately reviewed by a clinician and maintained in a paper chart. With ActiveFAX integrated into the process Referring physicians, Primary Care Physicians and 3rd party testing facilities simply continue to fax information as they always have.
HealthWare’s ActiveFAX converts all faxed communication to electronic documentation which is then incorporated into electronic workflows for completion of all pre-encounter activities.
Some key features and benefits of ActiveFAX for Pre-Surgical Testing include:
- Complete audit trail of all faxed communication without handwritten logs
- Electronically reject faxes back to originator, from any workstation, for clarification or if incomplete or illegible
- Comprehensive search capability for locating faxed information based on any number of search categories/indexes
- Provide access to multiple clinicians/departments without making copies
